how to draw a widget on another widget?

[hashb]

suppose I have a widget ,say, QTextEdit, it already has some corresponding attributes: text, font, color, ....
I want to draw it onto a widget of my own

how can I achieve that?

//mywidget.h
class MyWidget : public QWidget
...

//mywidget.cpp
void MyWidget :: paint()
{
//???
}

Make your custom widget as the parent of QTextEdit

Hi Santosh, Thanks
it do works, but in some cases I have to PAINT an existing widget on my widget , any ideas about it ?

How does these two differ? I see both of them as same.

here are some cases I can find out:
1) you can not set the widget as child
2) you want to get a snap shot
